So, as it turns out, HRO had a duplexer with an N connector on the
antenna side. I just need to see about changing the connector on the
antenna (and actually mounting my N-connectors), and I don't have to
change the connector on the radio.
My PL-259s were all silver-plated. So are the Ns, but they are not
crimp-on; I'll still have to solder them. The part that gets soldered
is of substantially lower mass than the PL-259, so hopefully it'll go
better. Sigh.
